street yard cutting wood yesterday,
and be worked at it in a strikingly
natural manner. First he set the
stick ON one end and prepared to
strike when it tumbled down. Then
he stood it up and put silver under
The weak side to sustain it, and lifted
the ak for the blow when it tumbled
again. As he had got the ak up
quite ways this time and was fairly
quivering with expectatlon-the re-
action was not pleasant. 1t appear
ed to weaken him and before another
trial he leaned on the axe handle and
looked around on the scenery At
the third trial he put several slivers
under the stick, and was some five
minutes doing it. Then he raised the
axe carefully, deliberately took aim.
and brought the blade down with ter
rible force, and within about an inch
and a half of the stick which immedi-
ately tipped over. This surprised
him. He looked at the axe, then at
the stick, and then around at the
house to see if anybody was looking.
He was ten minutes proping the stick
the fourth time. When he got it
so it would stand without
being held he took up the axe
and after several mock motions so as
to get the right aim, he swung the in
strument down again. The blade
struck the stick with terrible force
within about sixteenth of an inch
from the edge, and took off a slip
about five inches long. We don't
suppose there is anything quite so ag-
gravating as this. Splitting your shin
open to the bone is pastime in COM
parison. The Seventh street boy
stood that stick up again without GER
emory, and with tho least display in
the world swung the axe over his
head and brought it spitefully down.
The blade this time chopped off half
inch chip, and swung around with such
momentum as to throw the boy off his
feet and drive him head-long over
pile of other sticks, every one of which
he struck with his knees or face. We
don't think we ever saw any boy get
on his feet as quick as that boy did.
And we were not in the least surprised
to see him snatch up that axe, and
with screams and sobs, beat that stick
until he was exhausted. With this
unpleasant duty performed he flung
the axe in among the tomato vines,
and went in the house for piece of
cake.

Major Pugmire and Wife,

The Salvation Army had a genuine
hallelujah meeting at their barracks
last night. This may be attributed to
the presence of Major Pugmire and
wife, who came in from Kansas City
yesterday afternoon. The meeting
began by the army marching around
the hall, forming the letter S, headed
by the visiting major and wife, while
the favorite song of Orally Round
the Cross" was sung by the laddies and
lassies amid the beating of tamborines,
the unharmonious strains of the "sleep-
er's" fiddle, together with Captain
Peckham and his banjo, and the win
ming smiles of Smiling Katie"
1t was a jubilee meeting, and the
evening was spent in giving testi-
monials and making the meeting as
lively as possible for the honored
guests.
Tonight the Major and wife will
aid in holding a grand meeting, and
an unusual good time may be ex-
pected.

BAD TEMPER.
How to Control it, by Major Cole
Friday Night Amusing In
cident

The tabernacle was we'll filled again
Friday night, and Major Cole spoke
quite a while on the subject of "Cease
to do Evil; Learn to do Well" He
spoke of the sin of bad temper, and
was pretty near on the right track
when he made the following express
sion relative to putting up stoves.
81 would rather eat ice cream any
time than to put up stoves when the
piping don't fit"
He wanted to know what q home
was when it was filled with bad tenn
per; when the father was continually
scolding the children. Said he t:
What we want is a religion at home
as well as abroad"
The evangelist gave an amusing ex-
ample of a minister controlling his
temper, said he:
1.-The divine on the day in ques-
ton, was going to deliver a lecture at
night on temper II how to control it,
etc. He had spent several previous
days preparing his manuscript, and
had it all arranged preparatory to de-
livering an able address, He had a
bad temper, perhaps worse than the
majority of his congregation. In the
afternoon he left his room after care
fully folding his manuscript and
placing it on the stand. In some way
his little babe got into the room while
he was absent, and succeeded in get
ting the manuscript, with pretty
red ribbon around it, on the floor.
When the minister .eturned, imagine
his anger and surprise to behold his
manuscript-the result of several
days hard labor-lying on the
floor, covered with ink, and the babe
pattering with its little feet through
the ink and smearing it all over the
papers. He drew back his hand to
strike that babe with stroke that
would have injured it, but God was
in his heart" said the Major, land In
stead of striking as be had intended,
he dropped on his knees and prayed
to God for strength. His manuscript
was gone but that night he delivered
a better sermon than he could possibly
have done, had the babe not destroy
ed the manuscript, by relating the
lesson he had learned in that days
